Abstract
- Antares is so bright that the fainter star can be overwhelmed by its glare, making this delightful double star a challenge to split, depending on the telescope and sky conditions. FEATURES VIEWING DOUBLE STARS is a popular activity at star parties. Sir William Herschel was the first astronomer to systematically study double stars. It's a shame, because not only are double stars beautiful, but they are also a challenge by which to measure the skill of the observer and the quality of their telescope. [Extracted from the article]
